How to underline a UILabel in swift?

You can do this using NSAttributedString

Example:

let underlineAttribute = [NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.thick.rawValue]
let underlineAttributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "StringWithUnderLine", attributes: underlineAttribute)
myLabel.attributedText = underlineAttributedString

EDIT

To have the same attributes for all texts of one UILabel, I suggest you to subclass UILabel and overriding text, like that:

Swift 5

Same as Swift 4.2 but: You should prefer the Swift initializer NSRange over the old NSMakeRange, you can shorten to .underlineStyle and linebreaks improve readibility for long method calls.

class UnderlinedLabel: UILabel {

override var text: String? {
    didSet {
        guard let text = text else { return }
        let textRange = NSRange(location: 0, length: text.count)
        let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
        attributedText.addAttribute(.underlineStyle,
                                    value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue,
                                    range: textRange)
        // Add other attributes if needed
        self.attributedText = attributedText
        }
    }
}

Swift 4.2

class UnderlinedLabel: UILabel {

override var text: String? {
    didSet {
        guard let text = text else { return }
        let textRange = NSMakeRange(0, text.count)
        let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
        attributedText.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle , value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue, range: textRange)
        // Add other attributes if needed
        self.attributedText = attributedText
        }
    }
}

Swift 3.0

class UnderlinedLabel: UILabel {
    
    override var text: String? {
        didSet {
            guard let text = text else { return }
            let textRange = NSMakeRange(0, text.characters.count)
            let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
            attributedText.addAttribute(NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName , value: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue, range: textRange)
            // Add other attributes if needed
            self.attributedText = attributedText
        }
    }
}

And you put your text like this :

@IBOutlet weak var label: UnderlinedLabel!
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        label.text = "StringWithUnderLine"
    }

OLD:

Swift (2.0 to 2.3):

class UnderlinedLabel: UILabel {
    
    override var text: String? {
        didSet {
            guard let text = text else { return }
            let textRange = NSMakeRange(0, text.characters.count)
            let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
            attributedText.addAttribute(NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName, value:NSUnderlineStyle.StyleSingle.rawValue, range: textRange)
            // Add other attributes if needed
            
            self.attributedText = attributedText
        }
    }
}

Swift 1.2:

class UnderlinedLabel: UILabel {
    
    override var text: String! {
        didSet {
            let textRange = NSMakeRange(0, count(text))
            let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
            attributedText.addAttribute(NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName, value:NSUnderlineStyle.StyleSingle.rawValue, range: textRange)
            // Add other attributes if needed
            
            self.attributedText = attributedText
        }
    }
}

Swift 5 & 4.2 one liner:

label.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "Text", attributes:
    [.underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue])

Swift 4 one liner:

label.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "Text", attributes:
    [.underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue])

Swift 3 one liner:

label.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "Text", attributes:
      [NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue])
